Overview
- Both Lukas Van Ness and Javon Hargrave entered the concussion protocol after head contact in Sunday’s loss, with Van Ness entering on Monday and Hargrave entering on Wednesday.
- Van Ness took limited, padded reps at Thursday’s practice while still in the protocol, suggesting incremental progress toward clearance.
- Hargrave did not practice on Thursday and remains in danger of missing Sunday’s game because he must complete each protocol stage to be cleared.
- Defensive tackle Warren Brinson missed a second straight practice with a calf issue and appears unlikely to make his 2026 debut, reducing interior depth.
- The Jets listed edge rusher Will McDonald IV as limited at practice and Green Bay’s poor pass-block and run-stop grades magnify how these injury developments will shape Friday’s final report and Week 2 game plans.
